We kicked off the show with Jed Marum's tune "Calla's Waltz".
That tune inspired the CD of the same name. The last CD, in fact,
of Jed Marum. I was saddened last week when I learned that Jed
passed away on May 2. He was 66 years old.

My first big experience with Jed Marum was at the Texas Scottish
Festival in 2011. I shared a stage with him and Hugh Morrison other
musicians. I'm not a super outgoing guy. But Jed approached me and
made me feel like he did with everyone, like one of the family.

He was kind and generous person. So today, I'm gonna highlight
his music. I'll share of the music of others as well. But it's
mostly about Jed. His passing is a great loss to the Celtic
community. I want to celebrate his life with music.

away. I still have a copy of the CD I bought when you featured
Lonestar Stout."

Robert McMahon posted on Patreon: "Years ago Jed played at my
home for family and friends. Even though my children
were quite young, they never forgot that visit. His
music was so heartfelt. I'm terribly saddened by this
news."

Randy Tredway posted on Facebook: "We probably have his last
recordings from his January show here in the music room"

Wade Weiler posted on Facebook: "I'm still in shock and
disbelief after reading the news yesterday, but also most thankful
for knowing Jed. He and I were in the band, Eammon's Kitchen
several years back, along with Caerynn Riccarde and Edward Riccardi
I think my favorite song of Jed's is his "Uncle Joe"."

Allan Marcotte emailed me: "Marc, I just saw that Jed Marum died
suddenly yesterday. I became a fan of his when I heard
"Prayer from Little Round Top" on the podcast a few years
back."

Trudy Scales sent a voice recording. She shared a whole bunch of
memories. I decided to share just one of them.

Cynthia Naughton posted a photo on Facebook "Jed was also an
actor! Here he is in character for his role in Road to Valhalla
from Lone Chimney Films"

Melissa Tatum emailed a voice recording: "I heard you were
soliciting memories of Jed Marum for a show. Jed and I wrote
several songs together, the first of which was called Witches Well
and which appears on his Calla's Waltz CD. I recorded a
brief snippet on how that song came to be."
